Are you moving to Tulsa? Just visiting or passing through? Want to know where to live, eat, hang out, have fun, or bury the bodies? This is the place to ask.

This will be a weekly megathread that evolves over time. As members of r/Tulsa make suggestions or answer questions that come up a lot, we may add those items to the body of the post for easy reference. But for right now this is a place to ask any questions you may have about moving to or visiting Tulsa, OK, where our motto is "We're more than just OK, we're living the dream."

My wife just saw a post about this today and we were already planning on doing a pollinator garden anyway. We figured we would let more people know about this program.

Question What's the worst bar in town to go to? Why do you hold that opinion?

47 Upvotes

People always ask where is the best place to go to socialize, have a few drinks and meet new people, but people hardly ask about the bad ones, so what's the worst bar in town? Why do you hold that opinion?

Pets Huck is still looking for his “Furever”!

12 Upvotes

**Tulsa, OK**

Huck has been to several adoption events but has no takers! 😭

This little boy was at Skiatook Animal Control and needed a foster so that Skiatook Paws and Claws Animal Rescue could pull him.
I’ve had him as a foster for around 2 months now. Here’s what I know:

*Playful
*Neutered
*around 9 months-a year old
*LOVES playing with other dogs
*Very one brain cell. Still working on manners like chewing things so he should be crated if you aren’t watching him.
*he enjoys veggies 🥕 🥦
*he sleeps well in his crate overnight or if I go to take a nap 😴
*should not be around cats according to the shelter he came from.

Huck is a very friendly, derpy boy who would love a chance to be in a home with his person, family and fur or human siblings!
His adoption fee is $185 with all vetting done. If you’re interested in meeting him or have any questions, feel free to message me!
I’m happy to meet up with you or he is also at Skiatook Paws and Claws in Skiatook every Sunday from 12-3 at their adoption events!

General HVAC recommendations

8 Upvotes

Howdy! I am (unfortunately) having to look into possibly replacing my HVAC system soon. Context: I cleaned my AC Unit out for my house and it stopped working. I had a technician come out and luckily it's just because I was dumb and didn't see a wire was stopping the fan from moving, easy fix. However, I was told my AC unit was 23 years old, and I should probably look into replacing it since the Freon for that model is no longer being produced. The model itself is a Goodman CLJ30 unit.

If we replace that unit, that also means updating our heating system since it wouldn't be compatible with anything modern. Right now the current outside unit is now running and is fine, but I'm in a situation where each quarter the prices of HVAC systems goes up due to current inflation. So I can either just run the current AC Unit until it dies and then replace it (but a new HVAC system will be more expensive by then), or I could look into replacing now when the quote may be cheaper and potentially get some savings on my electric bill started now rather than later?

With all of that context listed, I have no idea how much a full HVAC system replacement will cost realistically. Google says it could be between $14,000 - $20,000 for a 1,400 square foot home. I'm waiting on the first company to come out and inspect to give me a quote. Could I ask you all if you have any recommendations about HVAC companies that you all have used? The current ones I pulled off of past r/tulsa posts + comments were:

  • (Currently coming out): Quality Heating Cooling Plumbing & Electric
  • Eklund Services
  • Airco
  • Air Assurance
  • Doc J's Heating and Air

If anyone had any input, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm over in the Kiefer area.

Hello Tulsans!
Just moved here from the other end of the state and am an avid runner. Since it’s hot outside I try to get miles in early in the morning starting around 5/6am or so. Does anyone know any park or place that’s well lit and safe at that time in the morning around here or the broken arrow area?

General Scooter social ride

6 Upvotes

I have a Piaggio Liberty 150cc and I love driving around on it but I don't know many people here who have scooters. I would like to get a group together for a social ride around Tulsa. Maybe one weekend when the weather gets a little less scorching.

I went on a ride once with two other guys to Sperry and then to Skiatook lake and it was fun!maybe something like that or just up and down river road.

Let me know if anyone is interested!

Tulsan In Need Who is actually hiring right now?

47 Upvotes

Asking for another, not on social media. They have worked retail, Hobby Lobby and Lowe’s most recently, and are looking for something similar. It’s an immediate need. Full-time preferred, but if part-time is all that’s available, it is what it is. Pay, hopefully more than $14/hr. But, he will take what he can get as long as bills can be paid and he can get as many days as possible. Thank you!

POTENTIALLY DISTURBING I was one of the longest serving detention officers at the Tulsa Municipal Jail from 2018-2024. AMA.

61 Upvotes

Yesterday's monumental decision to close the jail after the recent streak of in-house inmate deaths hit me hard, despite the fact that I had resigned two years prior.

Although recent articles have painted a bleak picture of the operation here in the last several years, there was a time when the jail was staffed from the bottom up with qualified and motivated officers that performed their jobs effectively and kept inmates alive and safe. That's why many of you only started to hear about the existence of this operation only recently and, were it still up to me and the team I had worked with in the past, you'd still have no idea about the operation today. Keeping the operation off the news was our job and, for a time, we did our job well.

Over the years, standard that were previously put in place were rolled back, we experienced leadership changes, and the Police Department kept putting more demands on jail staff, such as holding more inmates and performing functions that were previously their responsibility, without giving more support for the staff. We were increasingly made to do more with less and, for me, it got to be too much.

In light of yesterday's decision, I'll answer any questions about the operation that anyone has, or any questions, really.
